I bought this a while ago for this reason. I can put my phone, wallet, keys, etc etc in it and then lock it to a tree or similar. I can also loop a backpack through the chain lock part to secure that as well.
Actually they don’t. Usually their liners are filled with some sand to give them enough weight until they have enough water to stay stationary.
Here is a company who makes them:
Quick Dam Water Activated Flood Bags 1ft x 2ft, 6-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085S0612/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_p6fTAb78BFQPD
There are a variety of fire/water proof document sized bags you can get on Amazon in the realm of $10-20.
Personally I have a fire/waterproof safe with a number of important documents and a fire/waterproof bag within that safe for the *super* important things.
It might seem silly, but there is something to be said about the peace of mind something like that can offer - the last thing you want to worry about during something like a fire or flood is saving documents over family/pets.
My recommendation long-term is a safe (depending on how much/many important things you want kept safe) or at least a water/fire proof bag of sorts.
Personally, I got this bag which sits inside my safe though I (thankfully) cannot speak to its effectiveness.
I would scan, encrypt and store copies digitally and then keep the physical copies in a fireproof document bag as the cheap option. Otherwise you can speak to banks, they were cheaper than I expected when I researched them but it's still an annual fee and range in cost depending on size and access. There's also private companies which do a similar service.
the best of the best would be an ifixit kit, but theyre pricey, so something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Precision-Screwdriver-Set-Electronic-Professional/dp/B07ZDFN1K3/
would do nicely imo
It's a bit late now, even if they are available with Amazon Prime. Look into the reusable bags. Don't kid yourself, plenty of places in Orlando flood. Especially when you could be talking about 12-16 inches of water over a day or two! (Ever tried to cross Bumby and Colonial after heavy rain? It takes a while to get where it needs to go.) Anyway, we bought these last year, and they helped keep us dry: https://www.amazon.com/Quick-Dam-Water-Activated-6-Pack/dp/B0085S0612
Great video, thanks! This is the fireproof envelope that I have. I read through it just now and found this message from the manufacturer (Colcase):
> We suggest customers to put the bag into a safe box or a drawer. Combining a fireproof bag and a SAFE together is the best solution to offer your files or otherthing complete protection in any fire accident, or paper can still get carbonized within any fire resistand material after extensive exposure to high temperatures.
That’s an important bit of information! So what they’re saying is that I should not count on the bag to do much more than keep my documents in one place. Fireproof safes are heavy, but I’ll look for one I can lift. Thanks very much for this tip.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Reliance-Safego-Outside-Portable-Security/dp/B01MR44KI3/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?keywords=portable+lock+box&qid=1669643755&sr=8-18
Like a small box with a bike lock, so you can clip it to your chair and lock your phone inside while on rides.
As others have mentioned, contact the property manager. A short term solution might be to pick up some flood barriers to use around the door--like these. They aren't perfect but we use them on our screen door in the summer to help keep water from flowing in during tropical storms.
Bro fuck DJI I crashed my brand new mini se with in a week ( last Wednesday ) DJI quoted me £220 to repair the gimbal which I did with glue and the cable which I changed with a DJI mini 2s gimbal ribbon. I got a DJI mini 2 today.
But I ordered a mini tool kit from Amazon 120 in 1 Precision Screwdrivers Set, Mini Screwdriver Set DIY Repair Tools Kit for iPhone Laptop PC Watch Glasses Xbox and Other Electronices, Small Screwdriver Kit with Magnetic Memory Mat https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07ZDFN1K3/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_P8MJDWDEC88JHWBNMJQ2
That's all you need and some time. Repair it yourself DJI kept forcing me to pay £220 when the drone brand new is £270 😂 also I wanted to know if the DJI mini 2 gimbal ribbon is compatible with the se as the gimbal tech is the same as the mini 2, they didn't even wanna Tel me that so I just took the risk which paid off
So just a waterproof bag? This is just the first one I found in 10 seconds of searching, there are like 20 other versions of this on Amazon for under $20
They make bags you can put documents in (Like this https://www.amazon.com/COLCASE-Fireproof-Non-Itchy-Resistant-Documents/dp/B074S2H4H9 ). Like you mention, not all fireproof safes are designed to protect documents.
For those in walkout basements, I had good luck with Quick Dams as a last line of defense - soaks up water then acts like a sandbag.
I found out the hard way that the floor drain outside my basement doesn't work at all due to poor design during the massive downpour two weeks ago, using these + a tarp to keep out water until I can get it properly repaired.
I live in a ~basement~ garden unit in chelsea with a little patio out back and was prepared for the idea of it raining so hard that it floods and water comes in through the back door. What I wasn't prepared for was water to just start leaking in out of the wall.
My theory is that the gutters on the house next door are clogged which caused water to pool in their backyard which came in through the foundation. Not fun at all.
Anyway, so far as practical advice, I bought some of these flood barriers from home depot so that if it happens again I can contain the water and soak it up. I also got a shop vac in case things get really bad.

These flood barriers don’t take up any space when they’re dry and have saved my basement multiple times.
Super-duper easy off Amazon. We use them for work, taking apart HP machines, and any decent security torx set till work.
There are many safety charging containers available, for example:
https://www.amazon.com/Fireproof-Explosionproof-Battery-Charging-Resistant/dp/B07Z83WGL1
The battery type that is most often a problem is the one without case, in a silver or blue plastic foil wrapper. This kind of battery can be easily punctured and if fully charged, can catch fire.
Laptop and other batteries in a battery pack, should not be a concern, in particular when branded. The battery pack (and often even the single cells) contain protection from overcharge and overdischarge. Charging uses temp sensors. Discard batteries that are bulging or visibly damaged. Other than that, I wouldn't worry.
One company uses them as an alternative to sandbags for flood protection. I assume the advantage is that they're lighter and easier to store when not in use.

Here you go! It luckily hasn't been in a fire yet, but reviewers tested it and it got a B on fakespot so we went with it. holds passports, birth certificates etc.
